Based on the context provided, the placement of your speech recognition application in the Yocto image depends on its intended use:

  • If your application is intended to be used as a library or module within other Python applications, you should place it under ${D}${PYTHON_SITEPACKAGES_DIR}. This is the standard directory for Python packages in Yocto, allowing for easy import and use in Python scripts.

  • If your application is a standalone tool that users will run directly and is not intended to be imported as a library, then placing it under ${D}/opt would be more appropriate. This directory is typically used for optional software that is not part of the core system.

Therefore, decide based on whether your application is primarily a library or a standalone application.
